You know how people sometimes restore theropod dinosaur faces with some sort of oral seal concealing the teeth (example shown below)? © @ EurwentalaWell, these are colloquially called "lips". Of course, they're not like, actual mammalian lips, but they're supposed to be akin to the oral seals of squamates (example shown below). Now, whether or not these were really present in life is a contentious issue. So what do you think, did theropods really have some sort of oral seal similar to what is often depicted?

Hainosaurus is now congeneric with Tylosaurus. I guess that means that it's Tylosaurus bernardi now.

^Care to elaborate?
I like that you brought this up, surprised this thread wasn't here before. Perhaps this could vary for different taxa? I don't see any reason why there wouldn't be variety.

I'd say lizard for Ornithomimosaurids and Tyrannosaurids, but bird for Allosaurids and Ceratosaurids (for example)

I guess it could kinda depend on their phylogeny as well...

The second one for sure; I find it ridiculous to suggest that the either two could be correct.

there are several pathologies in a theropods skull that correspond to the attachment sites of sheaths in modern varanids. not to mention they have a function. it helps keep dentition enamel from drying out. crocodile live in an aquatic environment so it doesn't need any structure to self- hydrate its teeth. if anyone notice my recent drawings, i'm a full supporter of lipped theropods. i imagine variations between different species and i tend to have a personal idea of what a certain theropod would look like with lips. take this for example i really like this depiction of a lipped spinosaurus. only partial coverage of the teeth with only the interlocking teeth at the notch exposed. makes sence being that that portion of the snout would have the most contact with the water

Also, ew, FredtheDinosaurman. But as far as dinosaur lips go, I typically go with lips, despite what I may have said earlier in this thread. I seem to recall seeing a paper that claimed to disprove that they had lips, but I don't remember what it was at this point.

whats wrong with fred? anyone who shares the same name as me is a-okay in my book, lol.
but seriously, i talked to him on facebook and deviantart before and hes a pretty cool guy from my perspective
actually a recent post made by a paleontolgist came out not too long ago that actually supports lips on theropods such as tyrannosaurus. i need to search facebook for sed post.

I never used to like him, and to be honest I don't know why. Just whenever I saw his name or art I would just get really hostile. I think there was a reason, I don't remember (maybe it was his near religious fanboyism of Allosaurus; back when I was younger stuff like that would really piss me off, and it sort of still does a little bit). I don't think it really matters but now I have made it an inside joke with... myself (so I guess no one really gets it then, hehe). It isn't as much a serious hatred for him like I have with TreytheExplainer or... another individual who I'm not gonna name right now. But with the lips, I'm not sure what to believe at this point. Stuff keeps flying back and forth, "proof that dinosaurs had lips," "proof that dinosaurs were lip-less." I think though I would typically just give them lips and call it a day. I can tell you it isn't like a crocodile though.

Yeah I think that may be the reason that I hated him so much. I mean I love Monolophosaurus, it is my favorite dinosaur, but my fanboyism of it is mostly a joke, and I think it did well in my Monolophosaurus Rampage, but that's because it is a rampage, its not meant to be realistic battles, it is meant to be unrealistic sort of. But he just basically worships Allosaurus. I mean it may be childish for me to dislike the guy because of that, but it really irritates the hell out of me.

i feel the need to respond to this because not only are you responding something that is literally years ago, but also on a subject that i do take inspiration from in my artwork. you guys realize that those animations were only tests and made for entertainment right? and in his own words he stated this along with the fact that "it's f%cking clay". don't act as if nobody here has a particular dinosaur that you'll be partial too and nothing is wrong with having a favorite dinosaur. matter of fact, theres only two videos he did that actually had allosaurus winning. the others either only references allosaurus being his favorite theropod, had tyrannosaurus winning and an ankylosaurus pawning everybody while resting with a spinosaurus watching in terror. ( because its for comedic entertainment) i also want to mention that fred is actually work with the saurian team as an artist and has worked with them for a while. hes not the same now as he was literally years ago. that plus i take much inspiration from his work.

Fred is basically a legend if you ask me. I mean, he might not be making claymations so much anymore, but his deviantart page, at this point he has legendary artwork there.

Did I not explain to you that I do not actually hate the guy anymore? I even said that it was childish of myself to ever hate him for that particular reason, but that I was irritated by it. I was just attempting to explain my admittedly bizarre inside joke that I have with myself. I don't need a collage of random images and crap explaining why he is a god or something. He's just another artist, not the greatest (but definitely far from the worst, he is pretty good). Your artwork is multitudes better, though, in my opinion, but maybe because his is more clean and digital-looking, which I don't particularly like. And what are you talking about? To my knowledge he has never worked with the Saurian team. He makes fanart for Saurian but he doesn't actually work with the team (based on what I know).
